data-mm-id=”_qrkhsuw9k”>The Detroit Lions are nothing if not a pointless franchise, providing only predictable disappointment to the increasingly shrinking sliver of the franchise still capable of feeling anything. For approximately the 61st time in the last 63 years, they are putting together a season that accomplishes nothing and produces frighteningly little. Matt Patricia's circus of underwhelming delights rolled into Minneapolis yesterday and was steamrolled with ruthless efficiency. Dalvin Cook gashed a disinterested and particularly arm-tackly defense for 206 of the Vikings' 275 rushing yards. He sealed the deal with a 70-yard scamper on the first play of a drive that saw the Lions earnestly send 10 men out onto the field. Guys, you're not going to believe this, b…

data-mm-id=”_yedliualz”>If Tim Tebow finds his way onto the Jacksonville Jaguars' 53-man roster it will be because Urban Meyer wants a lieutenant in the locker room who can preach the values of this specific culture. And people who think there's no chance such a thing could happen should brace themselves for a surprise. Because no matter how poorly the 34-year-old tight end performs on the field, it will be the unseen intangibles that Meyer weighs while making a decision. The early returns on Tebow's ability at his new position are not great. He played 16 snaps in the Jaguars preseason opener and did not factor into the passing game. In the running game, well, stuff like this happened. Tim Tebow: TE1pic.twitter.com/1mih6jFhUk— PFF (@PFF) August 15, 2021Honestly, the Te…

data-mm-id=”_fjx46oq0g”>Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco, one of the most exciting young players in Major League Baseball, put some panache and flair on an otherwise routine 6-3 last night by flipping the ball in the air like a basketball player lining up a free throw line. It was pretty cool and thankfully didn't end in disaster because that would have been embarrassing. Wander Franco would like to introduce you to the defensive bat flip, the "ball flip". pic.twitter.com/ekcM92cDuR— Daily Baseball (@VideosBaseball) May 4, 2023Predictably, it was met with overwhelming, almost universal praise on social media. Not necessarily because the people chiming in enjoyed it but, more importantly, because it would trigger some people who prefer the old-school way of playin…

data-mm-id=”_x8gxk02o8″>Olimpi defeated Marathon, 1-0, in a match in Honduras' Liga Nacional on Sunday. In the closing minutes of the match a player attempted one of the most dangerous and outrageous tackles you'll ever see on a professional soccer field. Marathon's André Orellana took a sprinting start and jumped through the air, spikes out, towards the ball and two opponents. Por esta acción el referee expulsó (roja directa) a André Orellana. 🎥 Deportes TVC pic.twitter.com/U0pdZ28AYC— Rodolfo (@fitomoca30) September 17, 2023Olimpi's Carlos Pineda and German Mejia were on the receiving end of the tackle. Both went down like human bowling pins. None of the articles about the incident mention either player suffering a serious injury, so for…

data-mm-id=”_m8ck85iwc”>The Dallas Cowboys suffered an incredibly embarrassing loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3. The Cardinals won, 28-16, in Glendale a week after they collapsed at home in the second half against the lowly New York Giants. Cowboys fans were understandably distraught by the result and it spilled over into the concourse as some of them teed off on a lone Cardinals fan. Cowboy fans upset rn 😅😂🤣 pic.twitter.com/ZYSr0ZRWbC— itsallphoenix (@itsallphoenix2) September 24, 2023Who knows what started this, but it certainly says something about the crowd in Arizona that there are so many different NFL jerseys here. You've got a Jerry Rice jersey and a Brian Dawkins jersey and there were clearly a number of Cowboys jerseys in attendance. …

data-mm-id=”_z8xh6bnrn”>Former Trump administration official Peter Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison on Thursday and protesters outside the courthouse were delighting in his misery. As the 74-year-old attempted to talk to the press after the sentencing, he was drowned out by people holding signs, blowing whistles and ringing cowbells. In September, Navarro was convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena issued by the January 6 committee. He refused to testify and refused to turn over documents to committee. On Thursday, he was sentenced to four months in prison and ordered to pay a fine of $9,500. This is what happened when Navarro attempted to discuss the sentence with reporters:lol this is not going well for Peter Navarro pic.tw…

data-mm-id=”_atipsbhlj”>Monday brought our first controversy of this year's Super Bowl in the form of an allegedly shoddy practice facility. Yesterday reports emerged that the San Francisco 49ers were not at all pleased with the state of the UNLV football field they're supposed to be practicing on in the lead-up to Super Bowl LVIII against the Kansas City Chiefs. Specifically, team officials felt the field is too soft for San Francisco to safely practice on and they are considering other options. The Chiefs do not face this problem because they get to practice at Allegiant Stadium which is being very carefully curated for the Big Game on Sunday. Such tomfoolery this early in the week means there's plenty of room for takes, and Craig Carton delivered by claiming this is p…
